Abolish gift tax and inheritance tax

What the petition asks
We want the government to abolish gift and inheritance tax because the assets which make up these gifts or inheritance could have already been taxed in various ways. So this gift tax should be free to give and the person giving it or receiving it should not have to worry about anything else.
People should have the right to give away whatever they want and to whoever they wish without fear of the person receiving the gift or inheritance being taxed on assets which might have already been taxed. We believe this is unfair.
